John Fahey - Carnegie Hall, New York City, Sept. 21, 1973

Hey, let's just hang out in September of 1973 for a little while longer. While Lou Reed was laying waste to Europe and Neil Young was opening the Roxy, John Fahey played a unique triple bill at Carnegie Hall in NYC, sharing the spotlight with jazz-pop mystic Gabor Szabo and bossa nova pioneer Laurindo Almeida.

I stumbled across this advertisement in an old Village Voice a little while back and had to ask: "Is there a tape?!" Lo and behold, yes — but maybe only of the Fahey set? Was the taper a die-hard Blind Joe Death-head who left after John opened the show? Maybe. Or maybe I just can't find the Szabo and Almeida recordings. Help me out, Gaborians!

But John sounds good enough for now — great, actually. He wastes no time getting to the serious stuff, opening his portion of the show with a dazzling, almost half-hour "Fare Forward Voyagers." This is, in many ways, peak Fahey, kaleidoscopic in its ambition, his technique flawless, his sense of adventure boundless. Despite the composition's epic length, it's a gripping performance throughout, leaving you hanging on every note. This is your real destination, as T.S. Eliot reminds us.

John wraps things up with relatively briefer versions of "Dance of the Inhabitants" and "Beverly," his in-between song patter as typically laid-back as can be, in spite of the hallowed setting. What happened next? Not sure, but I like to think the evening concluded with an all-star jam — Fahey, Szabo and Almeida performing a 45-minute improv raga or something. Stranger things have happened, right? At least a few!

Gabor Szabo - Great American Music Hall, San Francisco, California, February 1, 1975

OK, so I failed to locate a tape of Gabor Szabo sharing a bill with John Fahey at Carnegie Hall in 1973. But hey, here's something to make up for it: three hours worth of the Hungarian guitarist at the Great American Music Hall a couple years later. Extremely nice stuff, with Szabo joined by Richard Thompson (no, not that Richard Thompson) on keys, Bob Morin on drums and David Parlato on bass.

Szabo and Thompson's rapport is especially sweet, with the pair trading beautiful lines with grace and style. When they roll into a rippling rendition of Gabor's signature "Mizrab" during the first set, you'll be transported to some wondrous other dimension.

I've always wondered whether Jerry Garcia was a Szabo fan — there definitely seems to be some crossover in their playing styles. Hey, was Jerry there in the audience on this evening at the GAMH, taking notes? Seems as though he was in town, perhaps he dropped in and thought, "Nice room — maybe the Dead should play a show here later this year?"

More Gabor? Check out this cool half-hour documentary filmed in 1977, featuring the guitarist back in his homeland.
